if you find the concept of Teheran getting glassed funny, sure... I mean, I totally do, as far as I'm concerned that'd be hilarious, don't get me wrong, but you always seemed to me like a guy with some moral "exterminating civilians not cool" things, so there's that ;)
dark jokes aside, what worries me here is the fact that if Iran escalates to the point of sinking US navy (and I'm not sure if it has the capability, but for the sake of the argument, ya know, let's assume they can do that), Trump will need to either fold or escalate right back, and he doesn't strike me like a guy who would admit defeat, so....
@ThatCrazyDude i mean, he could do escalation almost infinite, but iran will as last measure bomb all the desalination and resource facilities in the wider region. all the kings horses and all the kings men couldn't get the helium back again. goodbye AI bubble the whole of US economy now rests on. on top, maybe china does get taiwan for good measure.
@nanook of course the money could be spend better, but taxes aren't there to make the place better. they are there to make a handful of autocrats rich. the few things that the population profits from are done to keep the population calm. bread and games.
so, if one is angry about it or relaxes and enjoys the show changes nothing. only that angry people act irrational.
only thing one can realistically change is things around them, and if everyone would do it, things would look different.
@nanook tl;dr: i either could be perpetually "triggered" (which is exactly what the plan is, imo) or i laugh about the pure insanity of things i can't change. it's self-protection, certainly not approval.
I remember a story, in wargame a general was given iran and he used cheap suicide boat attack to sink big ships and he was demoted or something because of it

in reply to pat • • •@ThatCrazyDude if trump wants to glass teheran, he'll glass teheran. he'll always find an excuse - i'm actually surprised it didn't happen already..
i just think it would be pretty funny if some hundreds of billions sank to the bottom of the sea.
